The Black Steel Snaffle Bit has a 5" sweet iron mouth with a copper inlay and 7" cheeks. Sweet iron is intended to rust, it produces a sweet taste as rusting occurs. A snaffle bit is the most common bit used and acts with direct pressure. The copper inlay causes the horse's mouth to salivate which allows the mouth to stay soft and useable to the rider.

Cheeks refers to the sides of the bit, it includes both the purchase and the shank. The purchase is the part of the bit above the mouthpiece. A short purchase allows the bit to act quicker in a horse's mouth when the reins are pulled. With a longer purchase the bit is slower to react. The shank is the part of the bit located below the mouthpiece, it gives the rider leverage on the mouthpiece. The shorter the shank, the less control; the longer the shank, the more control the rider has.

This sweet iron snaffle bit is endorsed by Stacy Westfall, creator of the Westfall Horsemanship approach to training. She is an award winning horsewoman and a natural horsemanship expert.
